LE ROY WILSON, OF WALDRON, MICHIGAN.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,295, dated January 1, 1901.

A li ati fil d March 26, 1900. serial No, 10,281. (No model.)

T0 at] whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Ln RoY WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wald ron, in the county of Hillsdale and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain improvements in what may be termed Vaporizers for hydrocarbon-burners.

It has for its object to greatly simplify construction, lessen cost of manufacture, promote convenience, provide for readily recovering any drip of fluid or oil failing to reach the burner before consumption, and to otherwise generally improve the burner.

It consists of the particular construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, all substantially as hereinafter more fully disclosed, and specifically pointed out by the claims.

It will be understood that latitude is allowed herein as to details, as they may be changed or varied at will without departing from the spirit of my invention and the same yet remain intact and be protected.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention, Figure 1 is an elevation. Fig. 2 is a section taken through the vaporizer, auxiliary burner, and oil or liquid holder, pan, or receptacle arranged under said burner. Fig. 3 is an enlarged broken detail section showing more particularly the parts 3 and 8.

In carrying out my invention I provide a supply-pipe 1, leading from a suitable hydrocarbon or fluid tank or holder. (Not shown.) The pipe 1 has it lower end extended horizontally a short distance, as at 1, forming at this point the generator or vaporizer 2, it then being extended upward and terminating in a short jet-tube 3, provided with a needlevalve 4. This provides for jetting or atomizing the hydrocarbon or oil. The pipe 1 and its vaporizer 2 are provided with regulatingvalves 5 and 6, respectively. Leading from .a trunk-pipe 8, having a valve 10 to close it when gas is not being passed thereinto to shut off any otherwise escaping fumes, is the service-pipe 7, having an arm 9. The receiving end of the pipe or trunk 8 has thereon a sliding regulator or bell 8, into which the vaporized fluid is delivered from the jet-tube 3 of the vaporizer or generator. The arm 9 has a regulatingvalve 11 and an L-like extension 12, having a series of apertures or perforations, thus forming an auxiliary burner. Below or underneath the auxiliary burner 12 is arranged or disposed a pan or receptacle 13 to contain oil or hydrocarbon, which when fired serves to vaporize the oil in said burner, the ignition of which vapor initially heats the vaporizer, converting the fluid or oil therein also into vapor. The pan or receptacle 13 is suitably connected to and supplied with oil or hydrocarbon from a preferably right-angled branch 14 of the arm 9 of the service-pipe. Said branch 14 has itself an extension or arm 15, to which is preferably attached or applied a cup or receptacle 16, receiving any overflow of oil resulting from the drip received into the arm 9 and branch 14 from the service-pipe. This provides for readily recovering the drip-oil and the returning of the same to the oil tank or receptacle for vaporization, thus avoiding waste, &c.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a vaporizer-burner, the combination of an oil or hydrocarbon supply pipe, a valved vaporizer or generator connected thereto and having an upstanding vapor-delivery pipe provided with a valved jet-tube at its upper end, a vapor or gas pipe with its receiving end opposed to said jet-tube, and connected to a service or distributing pipe, and an auxiliary burner supplied from said distributingpipe and arranged under said vaporizer or generator, substantially as set forth.

2. In a vaporizer-burner, the combination of an oil or hydrocarbon supply pipe, a valved vaporizer or generator connected thereto and having an upstanding delivery-pipe provided with a valved jet-tube at its upper end, a vapor or gas pipe with its receiving end opposed to said jet-tube, a distributing or service pipe, leading from said vapor or gas pipe, and provided with a serially-perforated arm extending under said vaporizer or generator, substantially as set forth.

3. In a vaporizer-burner, the combination of an oil or hydrocarbon supply pipe, a valved vaporizer or generator connected thereto and having an upstanding vapor-delivery pipe provided with a valved jet-tube at its upper end, a vapor or gas pipe with its receiving end opposed to said jet-tube, a service or distributing pipe connecting with said vapor or gas pipe and having a serially-perforated arm extending under said vaporizer or generator, said arm having an overflow branch pipe discharging into a drip cup or receptacle, substantially as set forth.

I. In a vaporizer-burner, the combination of an oil or hydrocarbon supply pipe, a valved generator connected thereto, and having an upstanding delivery-pipe provided with a jettube at its upper end, a vapor or gas pipe with its receiving end opposed to said jettube, a service or distributing pipe leading from said gas or vapor pipe and having a serially-perforated pipe-arm adapted to extend under said vaporizer or generator, a pan or receptacle arranged under said pipe-arm, said pipe-arm having a branch provided with an overflow-pipe, and a drip cup or receptacle connecting with said overflow-pipe, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LE ROY WILSON. Witnesses:
